Following last year’s improvements to the spring above Nyumba ya Masambiro, and the installation of a standpipe for the staff and community to be able to collect water, a cement slab has been created at the site of the standpipe. The slab makes it easier for collection of water as well as channelling any run-off into the stream to stop it from flowing through NYMs campus.
The standpipe allows many community members to collect water from a clean source nearer their homes, and saves them the journey down the valley to the lake and back to collect water.
We are delighted that it draws more community members to the centre, who stop by and chat with the staff and access our facilities as they go about their daily lives.
